As you know I’ve created this channel to share things like how to be a better human being and because, I’m also dealing with my own stuff. The thing I’m dealing with right now is the ego because I’ve got a 10 year school reunion coming up. Firstly, it scares me that I’ve been out of school for 10 years.…

It’s so easy to look at where you’re missing out on life – to look at what you’ve done wrong, what you’re lacking or what you don’t have. What we forget to acknowledge is that we won the lottery by being alive. If you think about the chances of you coming out as individualistic and unique as you are…

I was speaking to a German on the Germany leg of my European tour and I asked him, “How is it that Germany is known for its precision? How are you guys so good at getting things right?” He said, “It’s because we know how to focus and what to focus on.” It made me realise that where our…

Today I wanted to check in with you to make sure you’re living life as it should be – as a journey not as some sort of a pilgrimage that has an end. I think where a lot of people get stuck is thinking you need to reach some point and only then you’ll be happy. We start to…

While rules have their place, breaking rules can liberate you from their expectations. When we have a rule in place and things don’t happen according to the rule we become disappointed. So what I want to challenge you guys on today is having less stringent rules. There’s a guy who had quintuplets (5 kids at the same time), and…

I’m on the last day of my Belgium adventure and what’s made this trip so amazing is that I got to see a special cousin of mine, David. About six years ago David got paralyzed from the neck down because a tree fell on him during an intense storm. This is the guy who played six sports, piano, loved…

While I’m on my trip across Europe I’ve come across something that’s really powerful. In order to change your life you’re going to have to give yourself rewards for the right behaviour. Take dogs for example. If we want dogs to stop doing something, we punish them. If we want the dog to do something more we reward him.…

Four years ago when I was still in corporate I had a dream that people told me was impossible. That dream was, never ask somebody for a vacation. It didn’t seem possible but what’s amazing is that four years later I can write to you while traveling. It hasn’t been easy and that’s why I want to remind you…

When you reach the end of your life, what will matter most? Will you ask the nurses to carry you out to your brand new Mercedes Benz for one last ride? No. Will you look at your degree, framed in oak, and think, that made my life worth it? No. Will you find comfort in re-reading your financial statements?…

How to be happy EVERYDAY It’s not easy to be happy every day, but it is possible. And it comes when we can have a healthy relationship with ACCEPTANCE. Acceptance has a negative connotation, especially with my peers. Most people see acceptance as giving up, as settling, and that’s not at all what I’m suggesting here. I’m a big believer…
